Overview

Bushranger® Night Hawk VLI Series LED Driving Lights have been developed from

the ground up by our team of engineers to offer a truly unique design which takes

performance, looks and usability to a whole new level.

The bold, modern aesthetic incorporates clever cooling ducts which channel cool

air directly over the heatsink to greatly increase the heat dissipation of the LED’s. The

Advanced Temperature Control System takes advantage of the superior cooling

design to run the LED’s at their maximum potential by monitoring and adjusting the

output according to the environment.

These lights are so bright, we’ve also incorporated a brightness control function, which

allows complete control of the light intensity in conditions where too much light can

be detrimental to clear vision. The brightness is controlled by our pioneering, relay-free

VLI Series Wiring System, which is the rst of its kind, and leads the way with simpler

wiring, easier installation, more user control and greater reliability over traditional

systems.

Each light is supplied with two protective covers which allow the user to change

the beam pattern quickly and easily. With the spot protective cover tted, the light

projects a clean, focused spot beam pattern which reaches extreme distance;

great for highway driving. Clip on the ood protective cover and the light changes

signicantly to a wide, ood beam pattern which illuminates all the surroundings for

excellent short to medium distance vision.

Bushranger® Night Hawk lights are engineered tough to withstand the rugged outdoor

terrain and harsh climate experienced down under. They are backed by a 5 year

warranty and our 40+ year history of supplying quality engineered 4x4 products to the

Australian market.

Important Notes

Light Mounting Bracket

Vehicle Mounting & Adjustment

Installation Instructions

• We recommend the lights/wiring to be tted by a qualied automotive electrician.

• A forward facing light system may be used only as an auxiliary to high beam.

Check compliance and regulations with local authorities.

• Vehicle accessories mounted on the outside of the vehicle may need to comply

with regulations governed by your local state authority. Please check before

installation.

• When mounting lights, positon them appropriately so they do not obstruct existing

automotive function. If tting to front of vehicle, check for Bonnet clearances.

• Consideration should be given for airow requirements of the vehicle and its

mechanical components when mounting lights.

• All stainless steel hardware must have anti-seize lubricant applied to the threads

before tightening to avoid binding or galling of components.

• Ensure all recyclable parts/packaging are discarded in accordance to local

regulations.

The mounting bracket is supplied loosely tted to the light. The stainless steel M6 x 25mm

or M8 x 30mm button head bolts that secure the mounting bracket to the light must be

removed and have anti-seize lubricant applied to the threads before nal installation.

The use of anti-seize greatly reduces the risk of thread galling or binding commonly seen

between stainless steel nuts and bolts during tightening. Anti-seize must also be applied

to the M8, M10 and M12 mounting fasteners used to secure the light to the vehicle.

Ensure the mounting location for tment of the light/s to the vehicle is at, stable,

sufciently strong and has enough clearance around the light to avoid damage to

the vehicle from any movement during installation and use. If drilling is required for

mounting, ensure raw edges are coated with corrosion resistant paint or inhibitor.

The light can be adjusted horizontally and vertically. All adjustments are to be made

before nal tightening of fasteners. Horizontal adjustment is gained by rotating the

light body to the desired position and tightening the centre M10 or M12 bolt. Vertical

adjustment is gained by tilting the light body up or down and tightening the 4 x side

bolts.

The 9” light should always be secured to the vehicle using 1 x M12 centre bolt and 2 x

M8 side bolts as supplied. Apply anti-seize lubricant to these fasteners when tting to the

vehicle. For initial setup and adjustment, the fasteners should be nger tightened. Once

all adjustments have been made, all fasteners should be tightened and torqued to the

following specication:

RECOMMENDED TORQUE SETTINGS

M8 Fasteners 17Nm

M10 Fasteners 33Nm

M12 Fasteners 57Nm

Wiring Options

The driving light can be wired into the vehicle using 2 methods:

1. VLI Wiring System (P/N: NHW20VLI, available separately)

Our unique, relay free VLI Wiring System greatly simplies the installation of these

driving lights into modern vehicles and allows the full functionality of the VLI Series

lights to be achieved. Not only is this system easier to install and more reliable than

traditional relay-based wiring looms, but it also allows the brightness of all lights

connected to be varied, which gives the driver full control of light intensity at the

turn of a dial. Up to 4 x VLI Series Lights can be controlled by the one system with

no limitations on the power draw of each light.

The VLI Wiring System utilises the control plug on the rear of the light to provide the

control signals. The basic principles of operation are:

| Night Hawk VLI LED Driving Lights | Night Hawk VLI LED Driving Lights

Page 17 Page 18

2. Traditional Wiring Looms

Power Plug

Control Plug

All VLI Series lights can also be used in a more traditional, 12V relay-based wiring loom /

harness setup. Care needs to be taken to ensure that the wiring harness is rated for the

high-power requirements of the VLI Series lights.

The basic principles of operation are:

When the control plug on the back of the light is not used and power is supplied to the

power plug on the back of the light, the light will turn on and operate at maximum output.

Ensure that the attached sealing cap is tted to the control plug when not in use.

ISOMETRIC VIEW

N.T.S.

When the control plug on the back of the light is connected to the wiring system,

and the power plug is connected directly to the vehicles battery using the

supplied power lead, the light will only turn on/off & vary in brightness when signals

are received from the in-cabin control module. The in-cabin control module is

connected through the vehicles high beam circuit so that the lights can only be

operated when the high beam is activated.

NOTE: After installation of the wiring system, the lights may briey ash when rst

connected to the power source. This is normal operation and not a malfunction.

Cover Removal / Installation

Each driving light is supplied with two protective covers, a clear spot beam cover and a

uted ood beam cover.

To t a cover, align the 5 x clips on the cover with the openings in the front of the light,

then push cover rmly until the clips ‘click’ into the openings.

To remove cover, pull out on the 2 x lower tabs until the clips release from the light.

Care and Maintenance

Tabs

Clips

• The light is not serviceable – DO NOT disassemble.

• Clean lights using pH neutral soapy water and a soft nonabrasive brush or sponge. Rinse

thoroughly after cleaning.

• DO NOT use solvents, Alkaline based cleaners or abrasive materials to clean the light.

• If lights are exposed to a high salt environment or any other corrosive substance,

remove the light and mounting bracket from the vehicle and thoroughly clean and

rinse the components as outlined above.

• Remove the clear cover and plastic cover on the rear of the light periodically to clean

any dirt and grime build up.

• Regularly check all fasteners to ensure they are secured and properly torqued.
